Which Richard??
A04 Mary WRIOTHESLEY, born (in or after 1532). She was married firstly (marriage settlement 1st July 1545) to Richard LYSTER, Chief Baron of the King?s Exchequer and son and heir of Sir Michael LYSTER Knt; secondly to William SHELLEY of Michelgrove, Sussex
10" S. III. JUNE 10, 1905. NOTES AND QUERIES
William Shelley's first wife was Mary (not, as Berry, in his 'Sussex Genealogies,' p. 62, says, Margaret), one of the daughters of Thomas Wriothesley, Earl of Southampton. Machyn, in his 'Diary,' under the year 1561, thus refers to her funeral :- " The xiii day of December was bered at Sant Katharyns-chryst chyrche my lade Lyster, sumtyme wyff of master Shelley of Sussex, and the dowther of the erle of Southamptun late lord clianseler of England.-Wresseley, with a harord of arnies and a ii dosen skochyons of annes."
What this certainly seems to imply-viz that William Shelley was her first husband, and that she subsequently married Richard Lyster, son of Sir Michael Lyster, and grandson of the Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench - is definitely asserted in Banks's ' Extinct Baronage of England ' (iii. G72) and 'D.N.B.' (lxiii. 152). However, she bore Richard Lyster a son in 1556 (Berry's 'Hants Genealogies,' p. 240), and so, on the above theory, must have(l) been married to William Shelley, and (2) had her marriage annulled, and (3) remarried before William Shelley was eighteen, which seems improbable. Can we hold, as Machyn's editor apparently does, that William Shelley was not her first, but her second husband ?
(St Catherine Cree formerly St Catherine Christ Church ?)
Which Michael? Son of Richard and Mary Wriothesley.
This description missing a generation??
In 1588 Sir Michael raised a loan of £1,500 for the purpose, it is believed, of building the present House, an altogether grander one which better expressed his status as a high official of Elizabeth I. It was completed by his son Sir Richard in 1612; he also increased his estate by buying, in 1582, the smaller Chazey manor from Anthony Brydges. He tried unsuccessfully to claim the extinct barony of Mountjoy on the death of the Earl of Devonshire. The House of Lords rejecting the claim for lack of evidence. Sir Richard died in 1628 and lies in the church in a tomb surmounted by effigies of himself and his first wife, Cecily Baker. His son Sir Charles (c.1598-1655) succeeded him. Like many Royalist gentry he was extravagant; in 1635 he had to sell off his household goods to pay his debts. There can have been little left when in 1643 the Roundheads besieged and sacked the house, a year before Sir Charles death at the siege at Oxford
